This evening we spotted three barn owls feeding in front of our house.
A remarkable, breathtaking sight.
We had to memorialize this owl-watching outfit too. The girl has style.

The State of Our House Right Now
Shall we have a moment of domestic realism?
Clearly we have some unpacking to do at the new house.
A Weekend Snapshot
A snippet from the weekend: our soon-to-be five year old laughing and lounging in mom and dad’s bed.
‘Mom wants to take a picture?! Perfect opportunity to hide!’ Apparently this game never gets old.
Didn’t she looks so angelic just twenty seconds earlier?!
A perfect weekend moment.
Unpacking the Kitchen(s)
We are settling into the cooking spaces in our new house.
While our daughter sets up her play kitchen:
the grownups are busy unpacking and organizing the family kitchen:
Located near each other, we can keep one another company while we cook away. I’ve been informed there are chocolate cupcakes and baked potatoes in the oven. Should we save you some? I’m not sure we’ll be able to resist the yumminess, but we do love to share.
Now please excuse me while I go unpack some more kitchen boxes. I know the measuring spoons are around here somewhere.
Here are some of our favorite play kitchen items, many of which are shown above: our handmade felt salad greens and mushrooms, cookware and dining set
The January Ahead of Us
We have a big month ahead of us:
Several special birthdays (our daughter turns five!), unpacking from the big move and settling in to our new home, a giant deadline at David’s workplace plus a second job added to the mix (lecturer in the engineering department at the local university), and the long-awaited conclusion of our favorite book series
Oh, and I’m eight months pregnant. (Here’s hoping the baby is born NEXT month closer to his due date!) I have some nesting to do.
What can I say?! We like to keep things busy.
May 2013 be as rich and full as 2012. Happy New Year!
